Peach Belt foe awaits Jags in regional

Augusta State will open the Division II Tournament with a familiar foe.

The team learned of its first-round opponent in the Southeast Regional while watching the NCAA selection show late Sunday night at the Jaguar Student Activities Center. The Jaguars will play host to Peach Belt division foe UNC Pembroke at 6 p.m. Saturday.

For the fifth year in a row, Augusta State will play host to the first three rounds of the Division II Tournament at Christenberry Fieldhouse, with the opening round held Saturday.

The Jaguars, the No. 1 seed, defeated the eighth-seeded Braves three times earlier this season, including in Sunday's conference championship game.
